"I revisited high school behaviors of my own—futile, poisonous, bitter behaviors that served no purpose," Fey said of the script, inspired by Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes. "That thing of someone saying, 'You're really pretty,' and then, when the other person thanks them, saying, 'Oh, so you agree? You think you're pretty?' That happened in my school. That was a bear trap."

Fey also gave an update on the Mean Girls musical, saying that it's still in the "early" development stage.

"We've been enjoying trying to write," the former 30 Rockstar explained. "I wish so badly we could have had it done in some form for the 10th anniversary, but hopefully before the 15th."
